to be honest i have neglected my eldar as of late, not sure if it was because i started with them and didn't quite get their tactics or if weedy little space elf people fitted my style of play.
i was talking to someone recently who said i was being crazy and that eldar can play any way i wanted them to with the options i have, he asked what i like and i said i wanted to get away from the whole mech list idea and wanted a really assaulty army so we talked about a list that ran mostly scorps.
i haven't thought that much about it since but last night i played my eldar mech list and swapped out 10 banshees for 10 scorps with no upgrades. they absolutely ripped their way across the field, wrecking multiple transports and killing a fair amount, the volume of attacks was devastating (makes me want to look at orks) and with 3+ armour they didn't die in one round of shooting.
so i put this list to you to see what is thought of it
karandras
scorp exarch
claw
9x scorps
scorp exarch
claw, shadowstrike, stalker
9x scorps
scorp exarch
claw, shadowstrike, stalker
9x scorps
5 dire avengers
5 dire avengers
3x walker
stones, brightlance, starcannon
3x walker
stones, brightlance, starcannon
the idea is everything is scouting and infiltrating, the walkers will pop transports and the scorps will munch what's inside them, and i will just hide the avengers
the walkers may be divided in to 3 units of 2.
so let me know what you guys think and just so you guys know there is no hoard armies where i play, it's mainly mech meq
